Fans are swarming on both sides to defend their favorite artist, a writer from ‘DirectLyrics’ posed the question, if this was the end of Lady Gaga…had she been out shun? This question sparked a lot of controversial responses from the public on twitter, face book and even personal blogs. “Nothing is over for Gaga,” said charismatic fan Fabiano Manganaro.

“I think Katy has it in the bag, I mean her song is more a commercial route and also she is more likeable to a general audience,” says Andres Rodriguez, “Gaga doesn’t connect with a wider spectrum of people, the only ones she can really connect with are her hardcore die-hard fans. Yes the music isn’t bad but it’s not the most appealing either, that and she’s not very likeable.”

“Katy may sell more,” said another passionate fan, “But she’ll never be able to trump Gaga in a live performance.”

“Very good for Katy,” Stated a fan, “but the media needs to stop pitting people against each other, especially female artists.” He then went on to add, “START THE MUSIC, STOP THE DRAMA!”

Gaga just needs to keep her Poker face,” Katie P. offered her opinion with herself amused humor, “See what I did there?”Keep your eye out for the official Applause music video that will be shown on ‘Good Morning America’ Monday morning.
